Ordinary Unhappiness

Romantic relationships often face societal pressure to conform to a predefined script that involves dating, marriage, and having children, which can stifle genuine romance.

Such pressure leads to a focus on milestones and societal approval over authentic connections, ultimately detracting from the joy of romance.
